Lightweight library offers a unified API for monitoring network connectivity, delivering real-time updates, network type detection, and platform-specific insights across multiple platforms.
NetworkObserver is a lightweight Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) library for Compose Multiplatform. It provides a simple, unified API to monitor network connectivity across Android, iOS, Desktop (JVM), and Web/Wasm, with real-time updates and platform-specific insights.

Note: For Web/Wasm, Gradle will manage the toolchain; no manual Node setup is typically required.
Add NetworkObserver to your multiplatform project by depending on it from commonMain.
kotlin {
sourceSets {
commonMain {
dependencies {
implementation("com.tarifchakder:networkobserver:<latest-version>")
}
}
}
}
[versions]
networkObserver = "1.0.6" # use latest version
[libraries]
network-observer = { module = "com.tarifchakder:networkobserver", version.ref = "networkObserver" }
MaterialTheme {
Column(
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center
) {
val status by networkObserverAsState()
Text("Status: $status")
val networkType by networkTypeAsState()
Text("Network type: $networkType")
}
}
Key APIs are defined in commonMain (e.g., Ext.kt and NetworkObserver.kt) and backed by platform-specific implementations.
Use the Gradle Wrapper from the repository root.
